What's more effective for curing acne - salycilic acid or benzoyl peroxide?!
Question:
What's more effective for curing acne - salycilic acid or benzoyl peroxide?
Right now I'm looking at two products that I'm trying to decide between:
1. Peter Thomas Roth Acne and Area Treatment
Contains: sulfur, salicylic acid, and glycolic acid
2. DDF 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Gel with Tea Tree Oil
If you know anything about these products, which one is better?
Or if you're not familiar with those products, what do you find to be more effective? Products containing SALICYLIC ACID or ones containing BENZOYL PEROXIDE?
Thanks!!
Answers:
They are both good! Salicylic acid helps to exfoliate dead cells, benzoyl peroxide helps to dry out and kill bacteria. I usually apply the SA in the morning and at night use both! Best wishes!
